Many Thanks….

Uncategorized // No Comments

We just wanted to “Thank” everyone who braved the yucky weather and came out to our Sandals Night last night which was hosted by both AP Luxury Travel and Simply Love Studio!! We had a blast speaking to all the lovely brides and couples to help them on their way to an unforgettable honeymoon.

We had Trish Hartlage, a Sandals specialist give a presentation about each individual resort that Sandals has to offer. They are all very different and by the end of the night, I believe that all of our couples had a better understanding of which resort fit their style and personality better. Everyone seemed a little less confused when they left here, which is always our goal.

However, the couples not only received tons of information and advice about Sandals, but food and drinks as well!

Naked Pizza, the newest pizza place in town which uses all natural ingredients, sponsored pizza for all of our guests. It was absolutely delicious. We kept the leftovers and ate them for lunch today:-)

Plus, we had two fabulous bartenders from Event Tenders, LLC: Parham and Susan. Parham created his own speciality drinks for our event and named them after different Sandals resorts. They were absolutely fabulous and the biggest hit of the night!! (If you are looking for a bartender for your event… these guys are definitely the way to go!)

If you did miss our Sandals Night and are needing help booking your honeymoon, whether it be to Sandals or anywhere else in the world, we are here to help!! Just email me at mallory@alwaysplanned.com and we will set up an appointment for you to come in and we will have you on your way to somewhere wonderful in no time!!!

Our awesome bartenders and Rayna!!!

Counting Down – Vacay!

honeymoons, weddings // No Comments

I adore traveling.  Correction, I LOVE to travel.  Seriously it excites me to think about traveling the world and meeting its amazing people.  I am addicted to seeing new places, trying new foods and experiencing different cultures.  I guess you would say that our sister company, AP Luxury Travel, is the perfect fit for me.

Most of our couples decide on an all-inclusive resort for their honeymoon and the majority of those choose the amazing and luxurious Sandals Resorts.  It makes perfect sense that  Mallory and I have to travel to each and every Sandals property so we know exactly what our couples will receive.

Andrew and I are headed to Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia.  We are counting down the days and only have 7 days left until we arrive!  I decided it would be fun to let you know what we will be into while there.  So stay tuned, over the next 7 days you will hear about the resort, St. Lucia, Spa treatments, packing tips, and more!

Dreams Resorts

Uncategorized // No Comments

This year is my year to travel.  In February, Andrew and I went to Orlando and had such a great time!  Now in the midst of wedding season we are headed to Mexico.  Our 4 year anniversary is May 22 and we have a fabulous wedding on May 23 then we leave on May 24.  Wow!  We are going to be exhausted!  No worries, we will be in Peurto Vallarta by 1pm and be relaxing on the beautiful beach.

There are some amazing deals on vacations right now – maybe a trip before your wedding with the girls, with your honey or by yourself… Hey I would also love a honeymoon to Mexico!

So we are going to the all-inclusive resort of Dream Peurto Vallarta.  This will be the nicest trip since our honeymoon (we went to Belize!!!) as far as drenched in sun and fabulous service.  I do adore amazing service.  ;)   Now I just have to get my passport updated…

Your Honeymoon

General // 1 Comment

For as much as we love weddings – we absolutely adore honeymoons!

Your honeymoon should be a relaxing time to reconnect with your new spouse.  Weddings become stressful very fast and the rush of emotions can be draining of your energy.  Of course this does not hit you until after your fabulous wedding and reception is over.  So be sure to plan ahead.  Most couples choose a relaxing and exotic beach honeymoon destination while others choose a romantic retreat in the mountains.  Whatever location you choose make sure you allow for some down time.  Lazy days in with room service is what a honeymoon is all about, and be sure to schedule some special treats at a local spa.

You will take many vacations together after your wedding but you really only get one honeymoon. ;)   Make the memories count and splurge on some of the things you really want to do.

Here are some items you need to have in your luggage for a perfect honeymoon.

  • Extra Cash – Small bills for tips
  • Sunblock and Aloe Vera
  • Photocopies of important documents (passport, license, ID, medical records)
  • Contact list of important numbers
  • A small first-aid kit that contains:
    * Insect repellent (and anti-itch cream for the bugs that break through)
    * Band-Aids
    * Aspirin, Advil
    * Antacid
    * Antihistamine
    * Diarrhea medicine
    * Motion sickness medicine
    * Tampons/pads (besides the expense, they can be hard to find outside the US)
  • Lingerie, massage oils, candles and matches
  • Comfortable clothes and shoes
  • Bikini, Trunks, Beach towels, flip-flops and sunglasses
  • Personal Hygiene Items

Oh and leave some room in your luggage for souvenirs!

It’s about time!

weddings // No Comments

Sorry for such a long delay in postings.  We have been very busy with some truly southern weddings.  Kentucky weather has been perfect lately and October 10th was no exception.

When I met Mary and Billy in Feburary, I knew we were going to have a great time doing their wedding.  Imagine an outdoor fall wedding with pink and green everywhere!  I know, it’s not your traditional fall wedding colors but this is not your traditional wedding.  Mary and Billy are still in Ireland, on their amazing honeymoon, and I can’t wait to chat with them when they get back.

Here are some details.  More Pictures coming soon.
